VuFind Developers Call Minutes: February 16, 2016

Agenda
1. Development Updates
JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-1143 - This ticket describes the security flaw that inspired release 2.5.2. It has also been fixed in master.
- VUFIND-1144 - This ticket tracks a bug in the [HideFacetValues] feature; the bug is fixed in master but still affects current releases. It could be backported with sufficient demand.
- VUFIND-1145 - This ticket points out that there is probably room for further simplification in logic for dealing with ILS requests (holds/recalls/ILL/storage retrieval).
Pull Requests
- #584 - in progress - This contains the latest work on on-demand session instantiation.
- #587 - in progress - This adjusts VuFind's AJAX code to make better use of native HTTP status codes.
- #588 - in progress - This adjusts VuFind's Solr schema (and index tools) to take advantage of docValues.
- #590 - merged - Minor adjustments to deduplication listener.
Delimited Facets
This feature has now been merged to master.
More Consistent Behavior for Blocked User Requests
Chris and Demian noticed an inconsistency in the way VuFind treated blocked user requests (hold/recall/ILL/storage retrieval) based on whether the block was provided up-front by the ILS driver (show link, but link to error page) or discovered dynamically through an AJAX “check status” request (hide link). Now all blocked links are hidden. See this commit and this commit.
Slack Team
VuFind now has a team on Slack for instant communication. Please let Chris or Demian know if you'd like to join but can't get in.
2. Development Planning
Improved Author Indexing
Solr Upgrade
Javascript Reorganization
Cover Issues
API
Modularization
Next ZF Version
While we wait for ZF3, should we consider upgrading to ZF 2.5.x, which raises PHP minimum requirement to 5.5? Or should we be conservative and stick with 2.4.x, yet still upgrade to the latest of that line, 2.4.9?
Improved Use of Permissions
Session Performance Improvement
3. Other Topics?
